LONDON : Saracens director of rugby Mark McCall poured praise on man of the match Owen Farrell after the flyhalf inspired the London club to a 35-25 victory over a gritty Sale in the English Premiership final on Saturday.
"For us to have him as leader... if you had been at our training this week you wouldn't believe how influential he is, how clear he is, the standards he sets and the how supportive he is of everyone else - and he’s playing the best rugby of his life," McCall said. Farrell, as ever, played down his own contribution and instead chose to focus on the atmosphere at the club who won their first title for four years having come through demotion for their salary cap breaches and after losing to Leicester in the last minute of last year's decider.
"This club is a place you want to fight for and a special place to be. What's been created is a place that nobody wants to leave. The number of players who have been here for 10 or 15 years - that's outstanding."
